- The National Cricket Academy was based at the stadium from 2000, according to the same BCCI guide.
- Bengaluru sits on the Deccan plateau at roughly 900 metres above sea level, higher than any other venue on this season's list.

Our calculation from hourly Open-Meteo ERA5 reanalysis data for the 15 days around the fixture date (±7 days) in each of five winters, 2021-22 to 2025-26 (75 days per window). "Dew-risk evenings" = share of evenings where the 10 pm air temperature was within 4°C of the dew point. Reanalysis describes the surrounding area (~25–30 km grid), not the outfield: an indicator, not a forecast. Open-Meteo
Fantasy angle (our general view)
- India vs Sri Lanka, 2nd ODI (14:00 IST start, sunset ≈ 17:56 IST): the second innings is played almost entirely after sunset. Strong dew signal (73% of sample evenings). We would lean towards the chasing side's batters and the seamers who bowl first while the ball is dry, and be careful with finger spinners in the second innings. Expect captains to prefer bowling first.
